1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: The holidays are meant for us to spend time with

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: friends and family. Yeah, good food for sure, to laugh

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: and to blackout and if you can remember, what if

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: a family member though overhears something that they were not

5
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: supposed to hear, and suddenly Christmas is going to be

6
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: extra weird and dramatic this year, unless you make a

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: phone call on our show to deal with it first.

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: That's the hope.

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: Because one of our listeners needs help thanks to the

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: weird conversation she accidentally overheard, and it involves her boyfriend's mom.

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: You're going to find out.

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: It's happening in your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: It's awkward, it's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Relationship problems. We're not really familiar with that topic on

15
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: this show.

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: That's like all we do.

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: Most people call us during our Great Girlfriends and Perfect

18
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: Boyfriends the bragging segment.

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: Yeah problem, I know, it's so hard.

20
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah they're too perfect.

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna do something a little bit different for

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: us and talk to a listener who says they would

23
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: have been on that Perfect Boyfriend's segment, but they just

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: got blindsided by something and they need our help before

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: they have this awkward discussion. So let's welcome Erica to

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: our show. Hey, Erica, how you doing.

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: Hi guys, I'm okay. I mean it's great.

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 3: Big pause there. I hope we can help you.

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: Me too, all right, I'm just feeling super miserable. Actually,

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: like I'm watching my relationship end right before my eyes

31
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: and I can't do anything about it.

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Oh God, God, And you don't want it to end? No, okay,

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: just checking.

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: Okay, you never know, true, you know books in the

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: other side of that conversation.

36
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: So sorry, I'm sorry, you're going through a hard time

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: and what's going on?

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: Okay. So, like there's a little bit of a backstory

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 4: getting into it, because, like my friend asked me to

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: watch her kid this past weekend, so we set them

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: up in our guest room with a baby monitor, and

42
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: like afterwards, we forgot to take the baby monitor out.

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 5: Okay, wait, wait, so you had a baby monitor in

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 5: the guest room, that's all that matters.

45
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, So the next day, my boyfriend's momb came

46
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: over and while I was down in the basement doing

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: the laundry, the baby monitor was still in there and

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: it was on I forgot to turn it off, and

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: I heard my boyfriend talking to his mom. Yeah, and

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: like I know that they had no idea that I

51
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: could hear them because they know they were kind of

52
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: like talking in a hush tone and like arguing with

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: each other.

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: Were they saying, like, God, she's just such the perfect woman.

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's like, why weren't you proposed yet? Honey?

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I wish.

57
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you should have eavesdrop right right.

58
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: Oh, I would totally eavesdrop in that situation.

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 7: Don't feel bad. That's the universe handing you this.

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you, Josey.

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 8: You're just yeah.

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: I mean I was curious when, like it felt like

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: she the mom was waiting for me to leave the

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: room to say something, So, you know, I listened in

65
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 4: and it became pretty clear that they were arguing about me.

66
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 3: Okay, oh god, about what?

67
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 6: Okay?

68
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: So I heard his mom say, I don't want her

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: coming over for the holidays?

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 6: Is here?

71
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: Oh God?

72
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 7: Somebody?

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 3: What's your boyfriend's name?

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 6: By the way, it's Jack.

75
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: Okay.

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: Did you guys have plans to spend the holidays together

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 5: with his family?

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

79
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: I mean, like usually we go back and forth and

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: it's his family's year.

81
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so it sounds like you guys have been together

82
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. What did his mom say.

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: She was being pretty specific about, like why she didn't

84
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: want me there, Like he said that I was loud

85
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: and that I eat all the snacks and that I'm

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 4: really messy.

87
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 7: You would not want any of us over there?

88
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: Then the same thing.

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to be rude here, but do you

90
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: eat all of the snacks when you go over to

91
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: their house?

92
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 7: All of them?

93
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I ate a bunch of snacks last year,

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: but I didn't realize there was a limit on snacking totally.

95
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 3: And you're bored? I mean, were you like so many snacks?

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Look, it's not fair for you to project your family

97
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: life onto her.

98
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay, you stay with your in laws.

99
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: My in laws do not eat very much, and I

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: am so hungry all the time when I'm over.

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: There, So I get you.

102
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: It's just rude when you tell them to go back

103
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: to the store for more chocolate colored that aside. I

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: know that must be terrible to hear through the baby monitor,

105
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: of all things.

106
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that wasn't even the worst thing. She

107
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: said that his nieces are scared of and like what

108
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 4: I scare children? Apparently?

109
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: Like can I ask up until this point, did you

110
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 5: think it was all roses with his family?

111
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, getting to know another person's like

112
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: family quirks their hard. But I thought I was doing okay.

113
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: Like I thought I was driving all right.

114
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: And when you walk by schools, do the children normally

115
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: run away from the fencing terror?

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 4: No, we were just babysitting last weekend and nobody was

117
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 4: terrified of me.

118
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: So, and what did your boyfriend have anything to say

119
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: during with his mom? Or was he agreeing with her?

120
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 4: He was trying to defend me, but like he couldn't.

121
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: He didn't really get a lot of words in edgewise.

122
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: Oh God.

123
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: And then his mom was like, can't she just go

124
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 4: stay somewhere else for Christmas?

125
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 9: Oh?

126
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: And then she was like threatening him. She was like,

127
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: don't you dare tell Erica And I'm really really upset.

128
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 3: I don't blame you.

129
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like left the house to get out of

130
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 4: the situation. When went that in my car and like

131
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: tried to process and like I texted him that I

132
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: wasn't feeling well because I didn't want to like talk

133
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: to him at that moment. I was just feeling a

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 4: lot of feelings and like, well, his mom left a

135
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: little while later, and she like waved at me like

136
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: nothing was wrong.

137
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Right.

138
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 7: Well, in her defense, she didn't know that you're listening,

139
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 7: So she's being direct to her son and quick about it,

140
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 7: just getting to the point.

141
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: And yeah, of course, if she knew.

142
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 7: You were listening, she would have been nicer.

143
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: It's just not.

144
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Fortunate that she had to hear that conversation about maybe

145
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of a blessing that you overheard it in him.

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 5: Like years into this relationship, you guys are living together.

147
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 5: I mean, you're moving towards marriage and making this woman

148
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: your mother in law.

149
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

150
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, god, I mean even if he loves me, like,

151
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if we've got a future going forward.

152
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: I mean, if his mom really feels that way, it's

153
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: just like that's not going to work.

154
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 7: So has he told you you're not welcome yet? Like,

155
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 7: do you know quote unquote no yet? You know what

156
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 7: I mean?

157
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 5: Like, right, has he passed on the message from the

158
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 5: mom in the nice way?

159
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 9: No?

160
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: I'm like this happened like three days ago, and like,

161
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: of course he's been surprisingly busy and never has the

162
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 4: time to like hang out or talk, because I'm sure

163
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: he's like trying to think about how to tell me this.

164
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: But like I am just sitting on all of this emotion,

165
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: and I like I need to talk to him, and

166
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: I now ish, you know, and I don't know. I

167
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: just need help.

168
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: So you want us to call your boyfriend for you here,

169
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: so that you could tell him that you overheard the conversation.

170
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh man, Yeah, you gotta do it. There's no

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: way around it.

172
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, And you can't just sit and wait and.

173
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: Stew I know, but he's gonna be He's not gonna

174
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 5: be happy because it puts him in such a bad position,

175
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: you know, to choose basically between his mom and his girlfriend.

176
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: It's a rough choice.

177
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: So maybe while we have a little break here, you

178
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: go down like a whole bag of.

179
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: Debbie's cakes, and then we'll come back.

180
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: We'll give you some advice and let you make your

181
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: awkward Tuesday phone call to your boyfriend.

182
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: Right after this.

183
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: Okay, I've already eaten a couple of secs all.

184
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: Doing it. We'll come back right after this. Hold on,

185
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: it's awkward.

186
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us.

187
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: We have a listener on the phone. Her name is

188
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Erica and she has a boyfriend of a few years.

189
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: They lived together, so safe to say they're pretty close

190
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: and you know, you know. But the other day her

191
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: boyfriend's mom was over and Erica overheard a conversation via

192
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: baby monitor that her maybe future mom in law does

193
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: not want her coming.

194
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: Over for Christmas this year.

195
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: The reason apparently, she eats all the snacks, scares all

196
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: the kids, and is too loud.

197
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: At least that's what she heard from the mouth.

198
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: It's like the cookie monster.

199
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: And obviously that's a tough thing to hear. So she

200
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: he's not spoken to her boyfriend about this yet, which

201
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: is why she's asked us to give her a little

202
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: bit of advice before she reaches out to him. And look,

203
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: nobody understands what it's like to spend the holidays with

204
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: an in law who doesn't really like you more than Brooke.

205
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh dude, so Brooke, you are the right person to

206
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: ask advice for here.

207
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: What do you got?

208
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 5: Well, first, Erica, I just got to say you are

209
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 5: not alone. There has not been a mother in law

210
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 5: in the world that has not talked crap about their

211
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 5: little baby significant other. Okay, I mean, unfortunately, you're the

212
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 5: one that has to hear it. Most people don't actually

213
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 5: hear what mother in laws really think, and you had

214
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 5: to hear it. So I just think, I mean, honestly,

215
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 5: my only advice is when you talk to your boyfriend,

216
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 5: do not feel bad about accidentally overhearing this conversation. That

217
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 5: is not your fault. It's not something you wanted to hear.

218
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: And for goodness sakes, you'll bring your own snacks.

219
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's totally fair. Anything.

220
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: You should have been eavesdropping on their conversations earlier, Jose,

221
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: what do you think she should do?

222
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 7: Just remember who you're mad. The mom is the bad guy. Technically,

223
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 7: that's true.

224
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: That's good decisions.

225
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 7: Your boyfriend's just trying to like organize this situation he's in.

226
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: He's like the middle child keeping the peace exactly.

227
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 7: So just be aware of your emotions. Don't go at

228
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 7: him super hard or aggressive.

229
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 5: Unless he said something stupid.

230
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: Does that help you a little bit?

231
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 7: Erica?

232
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty solid advice. I mean, you're right, it's

233
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: not like he was trying to defend me. I mean

234
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: it's hard to defend against your mom.

235
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, anything all right.

236
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: I can't believe we actually give some solid advice today,

237
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: So I'm counting this as a win already. Hopefully we

238
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: can actually make this conversation go smoothly for you. But

239
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna dial your boyfriend's number. We're gonna step back

240
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: and let you do this, Okay. We're going to be

241
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: here for support in case you need us.

242
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're here. Yes, you are not alone.

243
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: Thank you?

244
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: All right?

245
00:10:52,200 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 9: Hello, Hey babe, Hello, Hello, babe.

246
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: Can you hear me?

247
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 6: Yeah?

248
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 8: Hi, right now. I recognize that almost didn't even answer.

249
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm on a work line. I'm just like

250
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 4: in a quiet room. I really needed to talk to you, okay.

251
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, is everything okay?

252
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: Well, like, I know we've been able to talk in

253
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 4: like a couple of days, but this is like pretty

254
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: important because I'm just you know, uh, I'm worried about

255
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 4: us actually us what why?

256
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,679

Speaker 9: It's just like.

Speaker 4: Like you mean so much to me, and I'm just

Speaker 8: To do, Babe, What is going on right now? You're

00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 8: scaring me.

262
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: Remember when your mom was over the other day, Yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1: segment that we call the Awkward Tuesday phone Call, which

305
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: we were trying to help Erica with this conversation with

306
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: you because she overheard what happened on the baby monitor

307
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: between you and your mom, and she.

308
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,680

Speaker 3: was talking about? She was talking about the dog.

315
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, obviously she was talking. I knew she was talking

316
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 8: about the dog. That's how it all started. The dog

317
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 8: was like jumping on her bed and stuff, and she

318
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 8: was already getting annoyed with with her like.

319
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 7: Top of mind right now, She's like, by the way,
